Thumz MKIII 4AGE build - Thumz - 06-06-2016
Hi guys so firstly i would like to thank you guys for an awesome welcoming, and give props to the admin for a well designed forum (much better than any other). As mentioned in my introduction thread I will be squeezing a 4A-GE 16v twincam engine in. The build thread will unfortunately be agonizingly slow
as i have to balance the build, work and studies. since this will be my first mini project will also be looking to you guys for help (Expect a lot of silly questions 
). next step will be completing the strip as well as rust removal. Will make sure to post lots of pictures and keep you guys updated as closely as possible. Thoroughly excited

Keen to see how you progress
RE: Thumz MKIII 4AGE build - Vinay-RS - 06-06-2016
The experienced guys on here love to help with questions (I also ask loads of silly questions
). So ask away and people will help where they can

Slow and steady dude that's what counts. Well that at least what I keep telling myself. lol

@ Dominique tell me about it if I had the subframe that motor would be in already just for fun.... Had to buy the motor early it's a series 3 4AGE with big port head factory at 101kw at the fly and at a steal price too. Everything will need to wait for now have an exam on Saturday, after that the fun begins

Not sure if you know about Tommy.
He sells driveshafts and subframes for this conversion. And probably a few other bits and bobs that you would need
RE: Thumz MKIII 4AGE build - Thumz - 06-07-2016
I do know him, he doesn't actually source the drive shafts he modifies them to fit. Will be getting a lot of my stuff from him like the floors and boot that need replacement

Sports Car Centre also does body panels FYI. Probably where I am going to get mine from

So it's been a while, finally done with exams, so the mini will be getting some attention soon...just out of curiosity, can anyone tell me what rear diff (if any) will fit on the mini? and what extra parts i will need such as diff cradle and so on? heard that the cressida gearbox will fit on the 4AGE, and it's rather tempting having a RWD mini!!!
